经过超过十年的拆迁威胁，伦敦南部的克雷辛汉姆花园和中央山两处1960年代住宅区将被保护下来。1兰贝斯委员会原本计划因"住宅状况不佳"和需要建造新的社会住房而拆除这两处住宅区，但由于居民的长期抗争和绿党在今年5月选举中赢得最多席位掌权，拆迁计划预计将在下周的内阁会议上被推翻。1
2022年的一份审查揭示了拆迁方案的主要缺陷。1前公务员首长鲍勃·科斯莱克领导的审查指出，该计划将创建的社会出租房数量非常少，且"反馈一致为负面"，居民对委员会的信任度"极低"。1绿党领导人马丁·亚伯拉姆斯表示"这是一个决定性时刻"，计划将专注于投资现有居民家园和重新利用空置房产。1
这两处住宅区因其建筑与规划价值而获得关注。克雷辛汉姆花园由兰贝斯建筑师团队设计，该团队由特德·霍拉姆比领导，该项目毗邻布洛克韦尔公园，旨在促进邻里互动。1中央山项目由罗斯玛丽·斯特恩斯泰特主导，她在社会住房设计领域是少见的女性设计师。1
Two south London housing estates built in the 1960s have been rescued from demolition following more than ten years of threats to tear them down.1 Cressingham Gardens and Central Hill, both designed by Lambeth Council's in-house architecture team, are expected to be saved after the local authority's cabinet meets next week to reverse its longstanding demolition plans.1
Lambeth Council had originally pursued demolition of the two estates, citing poor housing conditions and the need to build new social rental homes.1 However, a 2022 review found that the proposed redevelopment would generate very few additional social rental units.1 The review, led by former civil servant Bob Coslake, highlighted that feedback from residents was "consistently negative" and their trust in the council had reached "extremely low" levels.1 The Green Party's victory in May elections, securing the most seats to run a minority administration, has accelerated the shift in policy.1
The estates hold significant architectural merit. Cressingham Gardens, designed by Ted Hollamby and situated adjacent to Brockwell Park, was conceived to encourage community interaction among residents.1 Central Hill's design was led by Rosemary Stjernstedt, a rare female designer in social housing architecture of that era.1 Green Party leader Martin Abrams signalled the new direction, stating that "this is a decisive moment," with plans to focus on investing in residents' existing homes and repurposing vacant properties rather than large-scale demolition.1
